Selected functional brain imaging findings in primary psychiatric disorders

EEG and fMRI studies consistently show decreased response to anticipating and receiving rewards in people with depression.35 Patients with schizophrenia show decreased activations in fronto-temporal regions during learning and memory tasks in fMRI.36 Clinical anxiety is associated with increased activity in the insula, medial temporal lobe, and anterior cingulate cortex.37 In depression, resting state networks show decreased connectivity between cognitive control and emotion regions.38
